OF THE STAGE.
An Actress Life Not a Bed of Roses.
Brook n Magazine.

a
Brook n Magazine.
Young women who are attracted by the
glamour of the stage and allow their van
ity to convince them that the attentions
they may receive will compensate for the
amount Of work involved. are apt to find
that an actress life is not the bed of roses
they had pictured. In their eHOrts to
keep up to their work, and also to have
the Joyous time they had hoped for, they
must either part with health or fail to
meet honestly the rigorous demands OF
their duties A well-ordered, ambi-
tious life on the stage means hard
work, quite as hard as any other
De of work could be, but not
too hard for the aim of e lifetime. The
experience of single performance before
the footlights is delightful to an amateur,
but would it carry with 1t the same de-
gree of pleasure if repeated seven ard
eight times week? Let amateur actors
consider what it means to labor indefatig-
ably on production which may fail and
be cast aside in week, or, what is
worse (for the performers, succeed so
well as to run a thousand or more
consecutive nights. 1t is IN these
wearisome repetitions that the call
ing of an actor becomes routine OF
the most irksome nature to progressive
spirit. The belief is common that work
is lightened by repeated performances.
Never was there greater mistake. On
the contrary, they render more needful
than ever watchful attention and study to
maintain that nice balance of perform
snce which gained the applause of the
critical at the outset; and it will be found
most necessary, to broaden his art out
side the limits of that never-ending part,
in order that the final performance does
not find him so moulded into its lines as
to faint all further presentation.
Young women aspirants to the stage
should also consider what it means to act
in sickness as well as in health, to smile
and caper, or storm and struggle when
every nerve is throbbing with pain. Yet
every pang must be hidden, every ache
suppressed. Audiences are unconsciously
hard task-masters. They pay their money
not to pity, but to applaud.

RICH DRESSING AT CHURCH.
An Improperly That Drives Many wor
shippers Away.
New York Graphic.

shippers Away.
New York Graphic.
Nobody can object to the love of dress
which most ladies nave. There must
even be the utmost charity in Judgment
for girls and women whose lives are a
prolonged struggle to dress well as
their more fortunate sisters. 1t is the
first duty of the sex to look as well as they
can, however unfortunate may be the pas
sion for fine dress, which leads in some
cases to illegitimate sacrifices. But
why dress for church in garments so
costly and of such variety that they must
necessarily attract attention. The place
is not adapted to such displays. They
distract attention from church purposes.
1t is too much to say of any lady that she
seeks attention to the sacrifice OF that
which should be devoted to book, or GER
mon, or prayer; that she airs her vanity
when she should most show humility;
that she wants to excite envy when the
heart should be empty of all selfish and
other personal considerations; but, sure
". she does not dress in that manner al
together to please herself, and it is Just
possible that she takes to herself some
what irreligious satisfaction on making
the dis -overy that no other lady has her
costliness of plumege and her superiority
of display.
1t has been repeatedly stated that no
poor and economically dressed man OF
woman can receive cordial treatment at
auy fashionable church, however clean
and decent the dress may be. We do not
believe this is so. There is perhaps as
much Christian warmth and fellowship
in fashionable as in other churches,
though, of course, radically bad dress
would be more offensive in sucha church
than in backwoods congregation, and
more Objectionable than a very costly
one. But there are sensitive women
whose thought is driven to church dress
because of it's noticeable eXpensiveness.
They do not wish to be conspicuous for
cheapness of apparel any more than g
properly sensitive woman would wish to
be conspicuous for the luxury carried on
her back. These women cannot attend
church without something of q sacrifice
of perfectly proper pride, whereas If
plain dress were the rule at church they
would be as much at ease at church as If
there were no thought of dress in any
place in which it does not belong.
Rich dressing at church is improperly,
and, besides, it drives away from church
many worthy people who w1uld be glad
to attend. That being fully understood
it being thoroughly known that such dis
play amounts to seltishness, as well as
love of adornment-there should be few
ladies who will offend in that way.

A STORY OF A KISS.
What a Woman was Afraid of and What
Really Happened.

Really Happened.
Chambers Journal.
A Circassian was walking along one
road and woman along another. The
roads finally united into one, and reach
ing the point of juncture at the same
time, they walked on together. The man
was carrying large iron kettle on his
back; in one hand he held the legs of a
live chicken, in the other a cane, and he
was leading a goat. They neared dark
ravine. Said the woman: 81 am afraid
to 90 through thst rsvine with you; it is
8 lonely place, and you might overpower
me and kiss me by force" Said the man:
"How can I possibly overpower you and
kiss you by force when have this great
iron kettle on my back, cane IN one
hand, live chicken in tee other, and am
leading this goat? l might as well be
tied hand and foot" "Yes," replied the
woman, "but if you stick your cane in the
ground and tie your goat to it, and turn
the kettle bottom-side up and put
the chicken under it, then you might
wickedly kiss me in spite of my resist
ance." "SucCess to thy ingenuity, G
woman" said the rejoicing man to him.
self al should never have thought Of
this or similar expedients." And when
they came to the ravine he stuck his cane
into the ground and tied the goat to it,
and gave the chicken to the woman, say
ing: "Hold it while l cut some grass
for the goat" and then-so runs the lie.
gend-'owering the kettle from his
shoulders he, put the fowl under it and
wickedly kissed the woman, DIS she was
afraid he would.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.
During the last month the money mar
ket has been gradually working into an
easier condition, and rates OF interest
have fallen at the east from l to 2 per
cent, and about ! per cent at Chicago.
The surplus reserve at New York is now
at point where no further disturbance
is feared, and it is not at all improbable
that money rates there may approach
to something like their old figure before
the first half Of the year is completed
Boston money! already crowding out
home loans in the Chicago markets, and
should the volume of business not come
up to expectations, loans would be called
in or paid up, and money would become
plenty once more, especially at the east.
II the new interstate commerce bill be-
comes a law, and the railroads find
themselves crippled by It's provisions,
and earnings begin to fall off, the roads
will be compelled to call halt in their
present building operations and extern
sions, which event, in turn, would dimin-
ish materially the demand for iron and
steel products, and this again would
lessen the general demand for all sorts of
mercantile commodities. The volume of
trade would grow smaller, business be
come more or less dull, money would
flow into the banks, and we should
have substantially the same business
and monetary conditions which prevailed
before the railroad building and
iron boom of last yesr set in. The
general activity which characterized the
last half of 1886, it should never be for
gotten, sprung primarily and principally
from railroad building, and the revival
of an iron and steel demand, and, as long
as this keeps up, we look for o continue
ton OF good business, stesay call for
the use OF money, and the maintenance
of moderately high rates of interest. But
| just as soon as the aboye-uamed causes
cease to operate, we look for gradual
reversal of the above conditions
